I do a bit of both really, not sure how it leads to this response (assume you thought I responded to you when I am responding to OP). The main point of my post was to see if he can even explain/quantify how good he is. Your advice is good.

So what are your metrics then? I would never find investors even if I wanted because my record is shit w.r.t. to risk adjusted return (despite arguably profitable). So I trade my own $$$.

Liability in cited article is meant to be understood as financial liability right? E.g. it would not make sense to put someone or something in jail for buying a stock. (Not a native English speaker.)

Sure, but you do control maximum risk you take on. If you don't take on too much, you live to trade another day (without a personal bankruptcy in between). A trader shouldn't "fail" on the kind of events you describe, unless their objective is to do some serious gambling with associated likely...

Close +8 Shit trade, MAE very near stop (-1000). Might continue down here I think (not enough want to carry over-weekend risk) but had my fill of adventure for the day. Think that I'm not going to use price triggered orders without having backtested a specific strategy in the future, but there...

Triggered. Not too impressed thus far with precise reversal point at order trigger price. Anyway, my first price triggered order ever so it's interesting to observe.

Lost 200 on one NQ trade and regained it on another. Trying an entry order as I'm convinced that we're either at LOD or day will end negative: Trigger Sell US2000USD x -221 @ 1687.7 stop 1693.2

Russia could hypothetically become an economic powerhouse on the level of the US but they need to solve their corruption, which is kind of difficult when the guy in charge is the master thief, and the (lack of) morals trickle down from there.

Market will be very nice to you if it keeps moving like that.

Steady vs transient situation. If tens of thousands would die in China cities pivotal to world manufacturing then someone would give a s. Unless of course we can ask them to keep working in spite of deaths in the name of the greater good of consumerism. Market reaction is well founded but the...

Close +384 Bigger MAE than I expected (~-600) so better to secure even though graph looks "great" now. Awaiting US data in 75 minutes.

Buy Europe 50 x 58 @ 3809 stop 3794 First time I'm trying this index (assuming it's Euro Stoxx 50).

Closed -190 Nah some trendiness going on

Buy NAS100USD x 21 @ 9533 stop 9483 Might be I am early but let's give it a whirl. Nothing material changed.

US stocks have basically recovered with light exceptions. You should probably look in China (HK) if you're ready to bet on further recovery. Nonetheless, the best opportunities were in the past two weeks. FWIW today might be another dip day to later buy after China changed their reporting measures.

It won't, but the path of least resistance and piling in even today might yet again prove to have been a winning strategy towards the end of the year. Disclaimer: I still stay cautious personally (too cautious as it's been proven over and over). Dozu is my hero.

Finally new account high and up by 1600 in February, hope I can stay away from over-confidence trades for a while.

Close +1260

Buy NAS100USD x 22 @ 9510 stop 9468 Didn't have much time today and not now with GF pissed off, anyway buying NQ without following up too much on what happened today.

Closed all since Powell is on today, +2500 or something, don't have time to count now. (US2000 reopened was stopped early in morning and not included)
